Ive been trying to get off cymbalta like most of you. I did not realise how debilitating it the whole process would be. My dr started weaning me off at 30 mg a week I nearly couldnt function and I have 3 daughters and a husband to look after. Anyway now I am down to 5 mg a week and I dont count balls. I have a measuring cup and empty 60mg tab into 60ml H2O then with a medicine measuring cup (bought from the chemist) withdraw the amount you are going down for me Im on 45mg so after I have mixed the drug and water together I take out 15ml which is equivalent to 15 mg. My psych told me counting balls is painful and inaccurate believe me thats true, I have a degree in Science. By the way I was on 120mg for 5 years for severe post natal depression now that Im coming off it apart from the withdrawals(constant nausea, constant headaches, sweats, insomnia, irritability, dizzyness

) I feel more intelligent and my memory is coming back. Through the whole process God has been my rock and guide if it was up to my psych I would be on this drug for life and I believe it left me cloudy and without much memory so I am so glad and grateful that I am coming off this powerful drug even though you feel awful. Try sleeping tabs antianxietys and aspros and antinausea tabs to help get you through thats what I have done and Im so glad I have. Three weeks after I stopped going down by 30mg and I am starting to feel heaps better the nausea has gone and Im down to aspros instead of antianxietys for the strange pressure and headadchey feeling.
